by Tony Smith

Souk in Arabic means a place where any kind of product can be exchanged or bought. For centuries, dhows (wooden boats) from the Far East, Sri Lanka and India would anchor in Dubai to sell their exotic wares. Today, these souks still exist and represent a vast part of Dubai’s traditional trading culture. The perfect place to spend a day, trawling through the stalls and discovering the art of haggling is the Gold Souk, where you can find some of the world’s cheapest yellow metal. Head down this street and be dazzled as you pass row upon row of gleaming shops selling diamonds and bright gold.

by Amy Nutt

The restaurant menu is one of the key elements to a successful restaurant. Making a restaurant menu requires time, care, and consultation with other people such as the Chef, to ensure a menu that will be loved by all dining guests.

The following is a list of helpful tips to making a restaurant menu:

Determine the Restaurants Theme and Style: In order to create a great menu you have to determine your restaurants vision. You want to have a menu that is unique from your competitors.
